A clever Staffy-cross has captured hearts across Sydney after boarding a bus all on her own and cruising through the suburbs to a train station – and now the race is on to find her owner.
The stylish pup, dressed in a smart little jacket, was spotted hopping aboard a bus near Weeney Street on Rocky Point Road, before cruising down to Kogarah Station like a seasoned commuter.
Once at the station, bemused but compassionate Sydney Trains staff welcomed the four-legged traveller with open arms, ensuring she was safe and calm.
The mystery mutt has since been affectionately nicknamed ‘Athena’ and is now enjoying the VIP treatment at the Sydney Dogs and Cats Home in South Strathfield, where staff say they’re hoping her owners will come forward soon.
‘We’re in the process in looking for her humans,’ a spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia.
‘She’s had lots of treats and lots of love.’
The bold bus-hopper has since become an overnight sensation, with social media lighting up over her solo suburban adventure.
‘She looks so happy,’ one said.
